I find these strips work best in small areas - like for the eyebrows, chin, and lip. I have tried them several times for the bikini area and the wax just isn't strong enough to pull all the hairs out on the big strip - and I have average thickness hair. It does leave a bit of residue and is difficult to go over the same area twice. These are totally non-messy and do not irritate skin. They are also very easy to warm up in skin.

These wax strips are convenient and easy to use (no need to microwave), and remove some fine facial hairs fairly good (but still painful). BUT I have one big complain - I don't understand why the strips for eyebrows are not shaped like eyebrows.

I usually use hair removal cream or my old school hot wax but I decided to try these because they seemed quicker and less messy. You should always only wax clean, dry skin. You take the strips (they're cut to size) and rub them in your hands to warm up the wax. Then you place a strip on your skin rubbing back and fourth to ensure it grips all of the hair. Then with one hand you hold your skin down...read more as you pull off the strip (against the direction of hair growth). I was pleased with the results. I was a little red after, but the kit includes a soothing oil that you apply after waxing to calm the redness. I was pleased with these strips and thought that they did a great job. Not sure of the regrowth factor yet as I just used them. I used them to wax my chin and upper lip but the kit says you can also use them on your eyebrows and bikini area, although I find them oddly shaped for eyebrows. They were quick and easy and appeared to remove the majority of my facial hair. I will be buying again.— 4 years, 2 months ago

Waxing hurts, it's a fact. So be prepared no matter what waxing product you use. Be prepared for redness/sensitivity and possible bumps (ingrown hairs or irritated open follicles). I love that it's so easy, just warm in your hands, open and apply. I've never had my face done professionally so i can't say it's better, but this gets the job done, quickly and with no mess. The oil soothes and removes...read more any wax that may stick to your skin. If you're prone to break outs, make sure your skin is super clean before waxing and wah again after waxing, i even put some witch hazel on after, it's a bit drying but worth it to prevent breakouts.— 8 years, 9 months ago

This was the first time I tried waxing. I liked the different sizes of strips. It was really easy to warm up the strips between the hands. The strips removed most of the targeted hair, but just a few hairs were left behind. They were easy to tweeze. Waxing with these was actually a lot less painful than I had anticipated.

I have light colored facial hair, but I still need to get it off of my face. I tried these strips rather than using a heated was. It did remove a majority of the hair, and my skin felt fine that day. the next day however, areas where I had used the strips on my face felt rough and scaly--the skin was so completely dry that I could not wear makeup at all. Would not buy again.

These strips should be used on clean, dry skin. It also helps to lightly dust the hairs with baby powder or corn starch and to make sure you rub the strips so that they warm up before applying.. That being said I found them to be quite harsh on my skin (well at least more than a regular hot wax) and more likely to leave a red mark behind. The pluses are they are quite convenient and can be used...read more very quickly. I usually keep some form of wax strips for times that I notice a patch of hair that may have been missed during a hot wax or if a random patch of hair grows faster than the rest. It is nice to be able to zap it within seconds without microwaving anything. These are pre-cut but if you want to do brows, you'll probably have to trim them down some more. Overall I'd recommend dealing with the mess and hassle of a hot wax over these strips.— 8 years, 4 months ago

My first impression was that the strips were really weirdly shaped, especially the eyebrow and bikini ones, I couldn't imagine using them anywhere near my eyebrows or bikini line! This strips are really easy to use though, and they're quick and easy. I tried out the face strip first and it actually worked pretty well, it managed to pull out all my little facial hairs in one pull, but left my skin ...read morered and itchy afterwards. But there's this little bottle of Vitamin E Finishing Oil that comes in the box, which really helped to relieve the irritation. I wouldn't recommend putting makeup or other beauty products on right away after using these strips because your pores are still open and they can get clogged easily.— 4 years, 3 months ago
